Not really. I pray he's not as bad a DC to be embarrassed time and time again. You are just continuing to make excuses for an indefensible defense. He's way over his head and needs to be calling defenses at the D2 level. What about Mizzou? Better players? Recruiting rankings don't prove it. He got schooled like he usually does. The vols ran 3 plays in the 1st qtr.

I knew it was over in the Florida, Missouri and Georgia games in the first half. Though I got fooled in the first half of the Alabama game. Something happened in the second part of our season. It seemed they were clicking and then not. It’s almost like they started to schemed to hide and dumb it down. Most uninspiring offense.

I didn't get to watch the bb game yet but did Awaka get hurt? And I heard it was early in the game and never came back. So are we going to be down two pieces any length of time?

As some of you know, I only post the picture of my dad and I in my avi picture when I’m worried about him. @InVOLuntary gave me the idea when he did the same for his mom. 😘 to you InVol. My dad is in a local nursing home for rehab for two fractured hips. The only rehab that my family has seen since he’s been there, is bed sores. My family has decided to ‘break’ him out Tomorrow or Wednesday to come home, all depends on my work schedule. My mom and I have extensive knowledge on how to take care of him. Prevention of bed sores is not that hard. Doc, when you read this, you know what this means. You have to rotate movement. Anyway, we’re doing a jail break before Thanksgiving.

I hope my family takes care of me like you do yours if it’s ever needed one day.

I really wish Jaylen Wright wouldn’t tap out so often. He’s been absolutely ridiculous this year.

The only time he taps out is when he gets 4 carry’s in 60 seconds. That’s hard on anyone especially RB’s. Not his fault the coach will then leave him off the field for the next 4 drives

Mizzou returned a ton and had great portal year and is a solid team. We have too many Dooley type 4 stars. 16 offensive TD’s tell a different story. We are not good enough on D and need some guys to grow up quick. We did better with Hadden. Hoping Gibson and Matthews And Conyer are ready to go. Maybe boo too.

And without the fumble we would’ve led at half.

More film with Milton more adjustments to what we were doing.

Idk how long; but tomorrow, yes, and that's just where we're thinnest, iirc. The frosh Estrella played some. I think we might be looking at some small ball tomorrow to try to wear out that Purdue center. Also it looks like, from people who follow basketball more than I do, that Edey is less effective if you keep his guards in check and make him their whole offense. We'll see.

I always like to read this: #1

Why did they have a great portal year and we didn't? Is that not part of his job, to get players in? How many more years does he need? I don't see an influx of talent that will make much of a difference next year, year 4. Does he need 5,6,7 years? I'm glad we dont have the same standards for Josh's offense. My guess he's gone after this year. At least that's my hope.

I think it can be as simple as Missouri had a similar year this year to what we had last year. I don't think Missouri's situation is more sustainable than ours.

I think you look around the league and several programs have had 'a year' that makes you think wow... And then they crash back to earth.

I don't know how different yet we are from that, but relative to what we've been, we're ahead of that.

We're not close to UGA or Bama from a sustainability standpoint but I think we're ahead of some other programs.

Recruiting is actually very good... It's just not gonna show up in the rankings. I think this class is really good. That last class was really good. Need to better in the portal... Need ol and dbs. I'm anxious to see how a couple of these freshman do...

The sky isn't falling... It's just kinda 'there' lol. And heupel doesn't deserve to be fired tho I wouldn't totally object to a few changes in the staff.

Anyway..I predicted 8-4 with a ceiling of 10-2. So par for the course in a year we replaced a ton on offense, the oc, had a several key injures that mattered a lot... The defense was better in spots, but ultimately still lacks depth at LB and athleticism in the secondary. and UGA and Bama aren't falling off...

Just too many quality wins already to hang it up this quickly.

New team, new sec, new playoff system starts next year...I think there's still a lot to look forward to.
